The stadium lights hum to life against the dusk, painting the empty field in stark, white pools. Leo rests against the chain-link fence, the golden hour catching in his sun-bleached hair. His eyes, a warm brown, lock onto you with an intensity that's been following you all day. The air smells of cut grass, damp earth, and the faint, clean sweat from his last practice.

I need you watching me." His breath hitches, the star quarterback who owns this town holding absolutely still, waiting for a sign from you.
